Build Help?

[rustyspoon]

Stacking str isn't a big deal with 1-handers. 1-handers benefit the LEAST from stacked str due to the low initial damage of 1h weapons.

6PS is all you really need.

[LordRichrich]

You can sell your first loom, it's a good idea tbh. But it'll take you a while to get there

[Dragut]

I'm close enough to that loom point
Im thinking of being archer next gen, would you recommend the yumi/rus bow for mid-long range?

[LordRichrich]

Yumi bow is a no for me Rus bow is very good tho

[Dragut]

Yeah It has rather low missile speed, but it looks amazing in combination with strange armor, perhaps even mounted! ^^
And above all it only takes 1 slot.

[Zerran]

Yumi is a pretty substandard bow due to awful missile speeds, go for the Rus bow for optimization, or Longbow if you want a REAL bow. 

[Dragut]

Rus and longbow, though higher missile speed and damage, can't be used on horse and also take 2 slots
But I probably won't go HA, due to the cost of horsies; Rus bow it is ^^


Perhaps even crossbow...

[Zerran]

Crossbow is an excellent choice if you want to retain your ability to fight in melee.

21/18

7 PS
4 IF
6 Ath
6 WM

for 2H or poles, just split your wpf between crossbow and whatever your melee weapon of choice is.

Or for a more xbow oriented build you can go

15/24

5 PS
2 IF
8 Ath
8 WM

100 wpf in your sidearm
157 wpf in xbows

Even this build can melee quite efficiently, but you'll need better footwork in order to make use of that athletics, and to make up for the lower damage and survivability.

Unfortunately my treasure chest isn't nearly as full as I would wish it to be ^^ Very expensive weapons are not really an option.
By the way ; would It be a good idea to sell my first heirloom point just to have enough money to cover anything I would need in regular items and upkeep?

Yes, that's a pretty good idea.

Most importantly though, you should really try joining a clan, as it will help you a lot, especially as you are a new player.
Clanmates are quite willing to give help. They may give you some gold, lend out items, give advices and not to forget; they give you company which makes it a bit more fun to play this game.

[Dragut]

Crossbow seems good if I want to have good melee too, but I was also thinking about a HA with decent melee, but I don't even think thats possible.

Any clans that need a new recruit? ^^

[Riddaren]

If you go HA, try getting a solid HA build (no PS that is).
HA is such a nerfed class that you can't afford making a hybrid kind of HA build, unless you don't care about becoming effective in combat.

Sure

I'll take a look ^^

[Dragut]

Mhh I read your rules and stuff, problem is, I was planning on making my next gen a 'samurai' theme HA  :p

Well, that might be a problem

If you like the Ninja/Samurai style you might wanna join the clan "Ninja".
But not if you go HA. Only infantry.
Edit: ...And you need to be a ninja, not samurai (my bad).

But I would guess you are best off with joining clan "GK" (Great Khans).
It's an eastern themed cav clan. They got lots of HA's already.
It's probably one of the most fun clans to play in if you are on horseback.

[Dragut]

I'll first get to level 31 and retire, then I will make my decision.
Be sure to save a spot for me in the Templar clan ^^
